Unfortunately the photos were taken with different cameras and the lighting and coloring are quite different, but you can see in the 2nd photo her melasma has faded almost entirely.  She has no makeup on except for a little lip gloss.   The melasma patient had done many procedures including [Microdermabrasion](http://www.silktouchmedspa.com/microdermabrasion-boise-eagle-idaho/), [Chemical Peels](http://www.silktouchmedspa.com/chemical-peels-boise-eagle-idaho/), and [IPL treatments](http://www.silktouchmedspa.com/ipl-intense-pulsed-light-boise-eagle-idaho/) with no success.  ## Treatment: We thought we were never going to find the right treatment to help this patient – until we found the formulation for our skin lightening peel. We called her up and said, “We think we finally found something to help you, let us do this for you free of charge!”   She had a few days of down time and had to use an at-home skin care system for a few weeks, but just a month later, Shazaam! Look at her now!!!!! Aren't her results amazing???  ![melasama before and after](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/file-588434666-png/images/esther_robles_before__skin_lightening_peel%2c_silk_touch_med_spa%2c_boise2-resized-600.png?width=450&height=337&name=esther_robles_before__skin_lightening_peel%2c_silk_touch_med_spa%2c_boise2-resized-600.png) ![melasma before and after peel](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/file-586484713-png/images/esther_robles_after_silk_touch_lightening_peel%2c_silk_touch_med_spa%2c_boise-resized-600.png?width=449&height=252&name=esther_robles_after_silk_touch_lightening_peel%2c_silk_touch_med_spa%2c_boise-resized-600.png) [Silk Touch Rx Skin Lightening System](http://www.silktouchmedspa.com/skin-lightening-peel-boise/) is a superficial chemical peel designed to improve the texture and appearance of hyper-pigmented skin. This facial peel is designed to eliminate sun damaged skin and melasma. This peel involves a medicated masque and an at-home skin care regimen. Downtime is a little greater (up to 7 days) but the results are amazing!!! There is no pain and little-to-no irritation during the application of the opaque creme masque, and typically, the irritation level on the following days is more like a sunburn.
